Herbal Clinic

Herbal Clinic Dispensary Workstation

The Herbal Clinic was established in 1977 in its first location in Commercial Street, Maesteg, South Wales.

In 1981 another branch was opened in Craddock Street, Swansea.

The success of the clinic soon necessitated larger premises and in 1983 both clinics were amalgamated and moved into a permanent building at 32 King Edward Road, Swansea.

Ms Ifanca Hélène James BA(Hons) DBTh DHoM LCH MBRI MGNI MHMA (UK), mother of Meilyr James, opened the practice in 1977. Between 1996 and 2007 she also worked for the GCRCH later to become the IRCH.

Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine harnesses the medicinal compounds naturally occurring within plants to restore health and vitality to the body. Each medicinal herb contains many pharmacologically active substances, which work synergistically (in co-operation) to resolve disease. As a result, herbal medicines do not produce unwanted side effects when prescribed by a qualified practitioner.

Mr James is a 3rd generation herbalist following a deeply holistic tradition based on a wealth of experience and understanding.

Patients come to the herbal clinic with a wide variety of conditions ranging from, asthma and high blood pressure to infertility and irritable bowel. [Read more...]

Iris Diagnosis

Iridology is the examination of the iris to reveal strengths and weaknesses of a person's inherited and developed constitution. Each organ has a neurological blueprint that creates an individual pattern within the eye.

It is an effective, non-invasive and pain free diagnostic tool used in the Herbal Clinic, to illustrate the unique pattern of an individual's health and potential disease. Changes in the iris are observed throughout treatment, which confirm the progression of health.

Iridology is currently being stringently researched to enable it to be used in mainstream hospitals. [Read More...]

Acupuncture

A relatively recent addition to the treatments available at the Herbal Clinic, acupuncture was initially intended for repairing musculoskeletal damage, such as that causing lower back pain, knee and hip problems, due to injury or systemic illness. It can however, be used for any patient who wishes to receive the treatment, in which case it facilitates and boosts the other healing modalities and assists the progression to health.

Mr James is trained in both a traditional understanding of acupuncture and current needling points and techniques used in Chinese hospitals today.

Acupuncture works as a synergistic triad of treatment alongside herbal medicine and in depth consultation.
